MARKET DRIVERS

The rise in need for quick and easy accessibility to medical facilities, growing focus on patient safety, nursing efficiency, and advancement in technologies, such as telemedicine, are key factors propelling the global medical carts market growth.

Furthermore, Y-O-Y growth in trauma, injury, and infections among people leads to increased hospitalization or frequent hospital visits, propelling the global medical carts market. According to the 2018 statistics published by the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 37.3 million cases require medical attention, whereas nearly 646,000 individuals die annually. Furthermore, increasing consciousness on developing nursing efficacy, advancements in healthcare in under-developed countries, amplifying the adoption of electronic health records (EHR), and patient safety further propel the global medical carts market's growth during the forecast period. Besides, improving healthcare infrastructures in rapidly growing countries, such as India and China, fosters the demand for medical carts.In addition, the growing need to eliminate medical errors, the rising adoption of telemedicine, and the rapid adoption of technological advancements are promoting the growth rate of the medical carts market. Furthermore, the growing healthcare expenditure is further favoring the market’s growth rate.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

The high cost of customized medical carts, a shortage of skilled professionals, and scarcity of funds restrain market growth, especially in developing countries.

Besides, the high maintenance of medical carts that need regular sterilization to avoid spreading allergies across the hospital restricts the market growth. Additionally, the rise in price competition among the key manufacturers is hampering the market growth. Furthermore, before introducing any new product, the manufacturers must meet all the FDA rules and guidelines, limiting the market growth rate. Another factor diminishing the sales of medical carts is an under-qualifying workforce. In addition, the shortage of highly trained professionals restricts the amount invested towards medical carts, negatively impacting the market growth.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE GLOBAL MEDICAL CARTS MARKET

Following the COVID-19 outbreak, medical cart manufacturers have been rushing to make sound decisions concerning their products, regulatory policies, and supply chains in the wake of rising hazards. Globally, the healthcare sector must deal with the surging challenges due to the spreading of pandemics and economic disruptions. However, medical cart manufacturers have been resilient in the pandemic's face, embracing every opportunity to ensure fast delivery to the market and maintain the supply and demand gap. During COVID-19, the medical carts market had moderate growth owing to the growing need for medical supplies, increased focus on patient safety, and rising adoption of healthcare technologies such as telemedicine. However, considering the reduced impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the medical carts market is anticipated to have a healthy growth rate in the coming years.
